Wow! This week was nonstop hard work, nonstop success! Which usually the two together a missionary doesnt always get to enjoy. But gratefully and miracuously Elder Allen and I were. Well first off all we ended the week with the baptism of Familia Pajon! Celina, Debora and Santiago were all able to get baptized and the service was very spiritual. They all left so content and full of the Spirit.
This week we also had one for the books with a record high of 50 lessons and 23 new investigators found in one week. And just to give you an idea of how high that is, when Elder Allen and I started together we were averaging 25 lessons a week with 10 new investigators. I know its not about the numbers but we were very grateful and satisfied to see the extra hard work we put in pay off. We are looking forward for the month of December to have a White Christmas, not from snow, but from baptisms!
Sad news though, this next week will probably be my last here in Mercedes, so next week Ill let you know where Ive been shipped off to.
Oh and I had a funny experience to share or rather a word of advice to give. If your sandals are breaking, wait to put your feet in them again until AFTER the super glue dries...I learned the hard way this morning...haha
Love you all, til next week!
Elder Trent
It will be the Christmas month of baptisms!
Elder Allens mom sent him this paper christmas tree haha. It lacks ornaments but were getting there.

This was our thanksgiving lunch that I made. I made it all on last pday and then we heated it up on thursday to save time. I made the ranch chicken, jello, coleslaw, potato salad and no bake cookies wahoo. a feeast!
Familia pajons baptism! yes Elder Allen and I found them together.
but anyways its getter hot now, a lot of humidity so im not looking forward to that again but i survived last summer. i rainined pretty hard saturday morning and we thought we might have to cancel the baptism but then it stopped around 4ish. that what usually happens hear though when it rains rains hard for a time and then stops.
